Today, the Sacramento Kings announced the return of the seventh annual Capitalize, the league’s first crowdsourced startup contest, which offers local entrepreneurs a chance to gain publicity, receive mentorship and secure funding for their business. In addition, Capitalize extends the Kings commitment to providing opportunities for up and coming innovators, providing the platform to showcase new products and services on the NBA’s global stage. This year, the contest will be presented by Dialpad, the world’s most advanced business communications company, 3STEPS4WARD, a full-service marketing consultancy group and Sacramento Urban Technology Lab, a “living laboratory” for entrepreneurs, advanced technology businesses, and academic institutions to test, develop, and scale their ideas, products, and services.
